This video made me so mad! None of these people remembered the father's rights! Nobody asked the right questions. It's all emotional, it's all about how the father doesn't send money and how he won't visit the son....and they ignore the Hague Convention. They are all kissing her a$$ and none of them question her! Bunch of idiots!

"he can come whenever he wants....and help me"

Yep Hilma, it's just a 5 minute commute from the US, right?She sleeps with her son every night? Not healthy.

Translation: I am not a bad person. I did not kidnap my child(ren). How can you charge me with a crime? You can visit them whenever you want! I just want to be around my parents, my family, in my country.

google translateVolleyball player will stay with the child at the end of the process in Brazil

In April last year, Minister Nancy Andrigui, the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), decided that the former player of the Brazilian volleyball, Hilma Caldeira Ali must stay with her child in Minas Gerais to end the legal dispute with her ex-husband, U.S. Kelvin Birotte. The fight for child K., 5 years old, born in the United States, began in 2006 when Birotte accused Dilma of international kidnapping of children. The player left the U.S. when his son was only 1 year old.

The Supreme Court's decision was the result of a writ of mandamus filed by Hilma after court ruling Federal de Minas Gerais, on April 14 last year determined that the child was returned to his father. She'll be with the child's custody until the Federal Court (TRF) to decide definitively who should have the lowest, according to the electronic portal Last Second.

She was bronze medalist with the Brazilian team at the Athens Olympics in 1996.

Hilma, currently living in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais capital, has not appeared in public since the case became prominent in the media. She did not flee, "said Gilberto Antônio Guimarães webpage to G1. "It will not create obstacles. She is not missing or hidden, just taking some time at his home to absorb the moment. "

The former player took his son to Brazil in 2006 to visit relatives and then remained in the country once, filling the same year filed for divorce and custody of Kelvin, the second child's father.

In an interview, the head chef Kelvin Birotte, 43 years, residing in Houston, Texas, told The Associated Press that the last time she saw her son was during a court hearing in 2007, when the boy was 1 year and a half old.

The determination that the child is delivered to the father was based in the Hague Convention regarding the international abduction of children, according to Orna Blum, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy. For those who have the right to permanent custody will be decided later by the U.S. justice system.

Birotte said he was inspired in case David Goldman, a resident of Tinton Falls (NJ), who after a long legal battle, got custody of his son, Sean, age 9. The dispute lasted five years between the Brazilian authorities and the U.S.. The two Americans have never met, but some Birotte said he sent messages of support via e-mail to Goldman.

Representative John Culberson, R-Texas, said in a statement to ABC News that his office had been notified by the State Department's intentions Boiler appeal the determination of the court to return the child to the U.S..

"We passed this information to Mr. Birotte and we will do everything possible to ensure a safe reunion between father and son," said Culberson.

This is not the life I imagined when Birotte Boiler met in Las Vegas several years ago. He worked as a chef at Caesar's Palace and her vacation with friends and stopped in the street to ask for directions as he walked toward a club in Vegas. They married in December 2004. Kelvin was born the following year.

"We traveled to Brazil several times," said Birotte. "The baptism of him (his son) happened there (Brazil)."

The marital crises became increasingly intense. She was upset because he did not drink, he said, and due to long hours as a chef who kept him away from home too long. However, Birotte said he never imagined that his wife abducted his son.

In April 2006, Birotte said it signed a paper authorizing Caldeira, who had the temporary green card, to take his son on a trip to Brazil for three months to visit family. When he talked to his wife in June, almost one month before returning to Las Vegas, Caldera said he needed to stay longer in Brazil, partly to assist in convalescence from a relative.

"She said she needed to stay longer, she would not return," he said. "I wanted her to come back for her birthday (the child)."

He contacted a lawyer and the Embassy of Brazil in Washington - DC. The embassy advised him to take the time she needed, however, he said, that time was used to keep Kelvin in the country for four months, a period required by the Government must be established for the residence of a child whose at least one parent is Brazilian. Kelvin officially became a Brazilian citizen in October 2006.

Birotte left his job at Caesar's Palace, handed an apartment in Las Vegas and moved back to his native Houston (TX) to monitor the case closely, since that was where the boiler took flight bound for Brazil. He returned to work as a chef, but warned his new boss that could leave the United States at any time to pick up his son.

The last time he saw Kelvin was in 2007 when the boy was 19 months old, during a hearing at the Court.

Seems like I've heard this exact same thing before from my ex-wife. Unfortunately, some people will not like what I have to say on this but it is the generational society on how these people were raised and where they were raised at. In a country that supposedly supports and promotes family, this should not be happening. You see people it's the cultural differences in this country and their country. Get mad and fly off the handle all you want but the facts are what they are but just remember a famous quote by one the greatest leaders ever in the history of the world.

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

If you harbor or allow child kidnappers to reside in your country without due process and let them just do whatever just because they are citizens and you do not properly investigate and apply the evidence according to LAW, you should pay the price.

The only way to get Brazil and any other nation's attention is to start digging in their back pockets. These people are narcissitic, self serving and sick. And their own government can't pull their head out of the sand long enough to see it themselves.

The only true justice to them will come in the form of their own children's rebellion against them later on in life. Then they will ask their own children, why are you doing this? I was only trying to do what was right. Yeah you idiot. Right for yourself. Not your child. When you become a parent, it does not give you the right to control your child and their whereabouts without due process. There is another parent that is an intrical part of the child's life that should always be taken into consideration. Control freaks. Every one of these people fit the same profile.

I only hope that someday everyone hearing, watching, and ruling on these cases comes to recognize the profile here...a selfish parent who obviously planned the abduction of their child, and who will come to defend it with an emotional plea that they didn't actually KIDNAP them...after all, now that it's all out in the open, the other parent can come and help out in my country if they want to...

Whatever helps them sleep better at night.....let's just call a spade a spade. A parent kidnaps their child, and their country allows them to get away with it. Parental abduction is a selfish and cowardly act. Those guilty of it are small and pathetic. They are kidnappers, plain and simple.

So I guess you've never heard of the Hague Convention, have you Minister Andrighi? Simply pathetic that this woman is permitted to rule in these Hague cases. She blatantly ignores it time and time again. If anyone from the US State Dept/OCI reads this forum, it might occur to you that Brazil will never be compliant with the Hague as long as judges like this one handle these cases.

how do all these cases end up in front of Judge Nancy Andrigui? She should be disqualified from ever hearing another Hague case after some of her rulings.

Amen to that, and probably one of the most important issues that Special Advisor for Children's Issues Ambassador Susan Jacobs blue ribbon committee should be raising with Brazil. Andrigui is a hopelessly corrupt and incompetent jurist.
